Salesforce.com Metadata Downloader

About

sfdcCommander can export the meta data configuration of your Salesforce.com Orgs.

How to use

The export is initiated by the command-line parameter --exportsrc or by selecting the action Export Metadata in the user interface.

Example:

    java -jar sfdcCommander.jar --exportsrc -c config/configfile.properties

It will create a folder structure below the root directory of the sfdcCommander jar file with the name of the source org specified in the sf.systemname parameter in the properties file.

    sf.systemname = MyDevelopmentOrg 

For each metadata type, a separate subdirectory is created and for each meta data object, a separate file is created with the name of the meta data object. The file contains the meta data for the specific object as XML file.
